Abstract

A thermal management system for transferring heat from a heat load includes a composite structural member that supports a heat load source and a heat transfer member in thermal contact with the composite structural member, and in thermal contact with a heat sink. The system further includes at least one thermally-conductive first fastener that is in thermal contact with the heat transfer member, couples the heat load source to the composite structural member, and conducts heat from the heat load source into the heat transfer member. The heat transfer member conducts heat from the thermally-conductive first fastener to the heat sink.
